Entomophthoromycosis due to Basidiobolus haptosporus.
This paper reports a case of entomophthoromycosis in a 40-year-old man who presented with an ulcerative wound and serosanguineous discharge after surgical removal of a fibrocystic mass. The serosanguineous discharge yielded Basidiobolus haptosporus, perhaps the first culture-proven case from a surgical wound.
